Bad packaging, but product works

Would Recommend

For some reason they went from a plastic container to this plastic bag for the product. Bad choice on their part but at least it still works. If I had a choice I would go find dry acid in a container rather then this baggie thing. By the way, when I got it home I noticed the baggie was leaking from the bottom.

OZ?

Yeah, have seen other reviews talking about this. It is really boneheaded not to give a volume instead of a weight for dosage. Who has a scale that measures in oz? Not very many people. Come on clorox, if you can't figure this out, how are we supposed to trust your product?

Volume to weight calculator

The chemistry and quality of this product is, of course, excellect. It's Clorox. I came to their web site on the package to find an ounce to volume conversion. I agree with other reviewers that this needs to be on the package. The conversion won't be perfect, but https://www.aqua-calc.com/calculate/volume-to-weight is available to help all of us for practical purposes. We're supposed to add in increments and we're aiming for a fairly wide range of results for pool care. This is certainly g...

Dosage

Would Recommend

It is a dry product.....and dosage is on OZ?????? It would be smart and fair if you inform the dosage in an other type of measure.....like a cup....

add ozs

it may be a great product, but the instructions are to add x ounces. its a powder, so i suppose we need a scale to measure ounces? would be nice if there was translation for some kind of volume measurement like cups, tbs, tsp or whatever.

Easy to use

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this MUCH better than liquid acid. This seems more expensive than acid BUT I think it's better than it seems at first because this product seems to go further. With the granules I don't need to worry about splashing. This is easy to use. Much easier to measure. I think the results are faster than acid also. I received this free in exchange for this review.
